you'll only find out for sure if you'll lose when you try. if you don't try, you definitely lose. should we select movie stars, athletes, and professors at birth? via lottery?

they know. there is no other path to the job that they want. what do you propose they do instead?

reading lots of BLDBLOG definitely gets repetitive. some people have a problem where they bury their ideas in lots of low calorie writing. you know these people, they take ten minutes to answer a question like "did you commit that chan

any book list that starts with "first you should read TAPL and PFPL, then move on to SF and CPDT and read HOTT and of course these three category theory textbooks" is really out of touch IMO. mostly because i don't think ther

there are some mega weirdos out there and sometimes it's best to just not ask. "hey, what'd you do this weekend?" "well, my friends and I run a historical re-enactment society where we all go to this remote retreat

I don't know if that would alleviate the authors concern, because (as I understand that proposal) the type information is still present, it's just bolted into the load/store/GEP instructions now. Nothing is stopping you

the cool thing about stuff like this (I am familiar with a few different efforts along this vein) is that you can combine something you are with something you know. the downside of fingerprints and retinas is they can be passively recorded

no, just no. SDV uses model checking and symbolic execution. its exploration is partial. the guarantees you get from the rust type checker are much stronger. the real trick would be, could you represent the contract between the kernel and d

You don't need to do that, though. There are only N choices per question, so when you get it wrong you just go back and pick another one. When you see that you got it wrong, you go back and pick another one. Eventually, you'll kno

Coursera's assessment methodology started off bad, and when they moved to the new platform it became even worse. It's now basically impossible to write meaningful or good examinations using their platform. Previously, you could do

I'm pretty sure you can use only public interfaces to implement this subsystem. You can do quite a lot to NT via the public interfaces, and it helps that the stuff in the linux subsystem basically only needs to work with itself (i.e. y

is it a derived work of the NT kernel if it's contained in a separate loadable driver? my understanding is that's where this system call interface is contained, and as I understand it, you can have GPL NT drivers..?

it winds up being about the same. you need a pointer-wide atomic compare-and-swap (CAS) to swap out the function pointer safely. on x86_64, a pointer-wide value is 8 bytes, which is enough space to put some instructions that detour to anoth
